A seated elderly man in saffron-orange robes sits on a plush maroon velvet throne with ornate gold carved backrest. He wears a white jasmine garland with red flower accents, a rudraksha mala on his head, a long rudraksha and gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, and white and red forehead markings. A small lapel microphone is clipped near his ear. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in a ceremonial pose with a throne and garlands, in person.
